I missed this the first time around but it will be rerun again on Friday at 7:00.

Everyone that has watched this, said it was very good.

I missed the entire thing and I could have kicked myself. I checked on the National Geographic website and they have the DVD set for 30 dollars available. Just an FYI.

I was amazed at how many clues their were prior to the attack and how many times the FBI was alerted to suspicious activity surrounding that fateful day.

They pointed out that President William Clinton and his administration, at the time, had, as a matter of policy, some restrictions in place that greatly limited the CIA's ability to communicate and work with the FBI. Just prior to the attack, apparently the CIA knew something was going to happen because of the major increase in radio chatter by Al Queda. They did not know what it was going to be however.

It is a shame that of all the responsibilities we delegate to the federal government, national defense is arguably the most important, and considering the billions of our tax dollars they use for said defense, they really let us down.

Friday at 7pm, I am going to miss it again. I remember being at work that day and watching things unfold on a 13" tv in my boss' office. I was floored feeling very sick to my stomach.

I was a travel agent at the time and I remember our call board went from 3 calls to 1200 in 30 seconds. I can remeber the days following there was such an eerie silence with no air traffic.

I was at work...we had a large television in the office where we watched CNBC all day (for market data). I was watching the bond futures at the trading floor in Chicago (a morning routine) when the 'Squawk Box' hosts cut in to report that something had hit the Trade Center.

I remember that as they confirmed it was an airplane that struck the tower, the camera picked up another plane in the background. I even said aloud, "What an idiot! They just said that a plane hit the Trade Center...and look at this guy flying so close!" 15 seconds later...the second plane hit on live television.

Aside from all of the events that unfolded that morning, I remember being utterly disgusted with Ron Insana (CNBC anchorman). He showed up and jumped in front of a camera claiming that he was at ground zero and yadda yadda yadda. He had dirt on his shoulders and forehead...but his hair (what's left of it, anyway) was perfect...so was his tie...and his dress shirt was perfectly clean and pressed. It honestly looked like he scooped some dirt up off the ground and doused it on his shoulders, then wiped his forehead, for "effect". It was evident that if he truly was at ground zero when everything happened, he made no attempt to clean his jacket...even though it looked like he was very meticulous with the rest of his appearance.

Media sensationalism...even at a time like that. It made me sick.

My experience is similar to yours VS. Ihad only been in the office a short time that beautiful morning, when my husband called and said a plane hit the World Trade Center. I hurried and turned the tv on and could not believe my eyes, when I saw another plane flying near this. I thought maybe the smoke had the pilot disorinated. I scream oh my God just as one of the other workers got to the office. We watched with our eyes as big as saucers and I must say when the Pentagon got hit, I was very scared for all of us.

I watched most of it (tuned in late). It's a very informative and interesting program. I would recommend taking the time to view it, tape it, or even buy it.

Its amazing that even though it was almost 4 years ago, its still fresh in all of our minds. Its kind of like when Kennedy got shot. Everybody remembers what they were doing at that exact moment when they found out.
